What is the Purpose of Chanterelle Solace in Bindery?

Chanterelle Solace in Bindery aims to one day be a Bindery Book Imprint, which means we would be able to publish books by marginalised authors, books with diversity and more! This would aim to focus on books in Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Horror

More about Marginalised Authors and Diversity in Cottagecore Books

We have a few books with diversity in Cottagecore in general but we donโ€™t see it commonly and we all know it is harder for BiPOC authors to advertise and get their work out there to readers, OR even to just get it published in the first place!

We need to see more Cottagecore Books that include MCs who are a picture of us, and if it was me in a book, well youโ€™d have:

  • Neurodiverse

  • Deaf/Hard of hearing

  • Muslim and hijabi MC

So join us in changing the industry one step at a time!


How do Content Creators Publish in Bindery?

Bindery is a community based publishing company! Essentially content creators are called Tastemakers on Bindery and there are two forms of them:

  • Tastemakers: This is when a content creator creates a page on bindery and it acts as a newsletter plus membership tiers (think Patreon, Ko-Fi, substack) that you pay for monthly for certain perks and to support the content creator at the cost of a cup of coffee (or less, in this economy!),

  • Publishers: When you are a larger Tastemaker, you may be invited to publish books with Bindery as an imprint. We say large because in order to publish books, compensate the authors fairly you need to have a community rallying behind you and supporting the book too!

How should you join?

So I heard you're looking for books to pre-order in preparation for 2026?๐Ÿ‘€

image

So you may have heard about pre-orders and you may have heard WHY its important but let's get into it a bit more, in a summarised manner! I will attach the resource of why you should pre-order the books, especially by marginalised authors who depend on these numbers to release more books, get a larger marketing budget (or a decent one), and show that there is a readership for their books!

THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL THE WAY IN THE BOTTOM WITH A BOOKSHOP.ORG UK AND US SHOPS to browse through and HERE is a goodreads list of all the available SWANA books too so you can add it in your TBR!!!!

Why are pre-orders important?

Thank you to authors who continue to educate us readers and the community on why Pre-orders are important! As someone who has been learning this throughout the year and advocating for it,

  1. It shows publishers that we, as readers and well buyers, are interested in the books BiPOC authors are publishing

  2. The more the book sells (yes, as a pre-order) the more marketing effort goes into it

  3. It alerts bookshops, book subs...etc. that the book is doing well and they should stock more of it (this is so important because it shows it'll sell if they do buy it AND this allows more reader to find the book)

  4. It helps the authors hit a best seller list (which does wonders for the author and the book)

In a world where SWANA authors make up less than 1% of the trad pub world (thank you to Jananie from Boundless Press for sharing this stats on threads, check her Bindery page out in here and check out Dust Settles North by Deena which was one of the SWANA 2025 releases) we need to continuously share and advocate for the authors who are here now and show that we want more of them!

So, what SWANA books are we pre-ordering in 2026?

Here's a list and attached to this blog post are the books you can click on to pre-order easily if you're in the US or access my bookshop.org list and get clicking! If you're in the UK, here is the bookshop.org list for you guys but some books are missing so I have added the link to get them elsewhere (some are affiliate).
Keep in mind, for some of the books, it is too early as they're not on the list YET but I will update and let you guys know when it is!

Here are the ones missing from bookshop.org:

  • Our Ex's Wedding by Taleen Voskuni: Amazon (UK)

  • Where No Shadow Stays by Sara Hashem: Amazon (UK), Blackwell's (UK)

  • In the Country I Love by Alaa Al-Barkawi: Amazon (UK)

  • Everything Comes back to you by Jackie Khalilieh: Amazon (UK)

  • Letters from the Last Apothecary by Bita Behzadi: Amazon (UK)

  • Ungodly Chaos by Selma Soren: Amazon (UK)

  • Bashir Boutros and the Forgotten Realm by George Jreije: Amazon (UK)

AND FINALLY, here are the graphics of the list:
